This morning - I woke up to not ☝🏾 but ✌🏽 sales. ⠀
⠀
While I was literally sleeping - I made 💰.⠀
⠀
📱 Now, if you've been watching my stories over on IG. I've been sharing how the last few days have been REALLY difficult for me. ⠀
⠀
*Randomly crying in the middle of the day⠀
*Struggling to stay asleep during the night⠀
⠀
It's been snowing a lot and the gray weather, icy roads, and cold temps have been really messing with my mental health - making it SUPER hard for me to focus on anything other than crying - to be honest. ⠀
⠀
And feeling trapped in my own home - because of the roads - makes things worse. ⠀
⠀
But I know that I can't completely halt my business or stay inside all day - i have to force myself to go out, despite how i feel. ⠀
⠀
🍌 So I've been doing little things to lift my spirits. Last night, I went to the store to pick up healthy foods to give my body the nutrients it needs to fight off my seasonal affective disorder ⠀
⠀
🎥 And then i treated myself to a movie to get some laughter medicine⠀
⠀
👩🏽‍💻And I've been working my business - but literally only for an hour a day. ⠀
⠀
Honestly - because I simply cannot focus longer than that on work. ⠀
⠀
And yet that hour - led to helping two people who have been looking for products to help them with hair growth & finding something to help with eczema.⠀
⠀
When I used to work a full time job - If I struggled with my mental health - I would STILL have to go into work - knowing that I was struggling with crying outbursts and negative thoughts. Knowing that i wasn't "there" and was ignoring my mental health. ⠀
⠀
But now, because I've decided to do the "unthinkable" and go into network marketing / I can actually make my mental health a priority while only working an hour a day. ⠀
⠀
And still be able to help people and make money. ⠀
⠀
I feel SOO incredibly grateful that I took the leap to becoming my own boss - and grateful for those of you who reach out to me - supporting my dreams while also getting quality organic products for your needs. 💛💛⠀
⠀
Being your own boss online - doesn't have to be time consuming - essentially, you could work it during your lunch hour or when the kids are taking a nap.⠀

✨Seasonal depression truly sucks.✨⠀
⠀
I've been struggling for the last few months but these past few days have felt nearly impossible to get through without crying or struggling to do basic tasks. ⠀
⠀
For many people, the "winter blues"'can make us feel incredibly ⠀
⠀
✨Unmotivated ⠀
✨Lethargic and⠀
✨Sad or depressed⠀
⠀
This is more than just having a "bad day". Your body is reacting to the lack of sunlight ☀️ and so your vitamin levels are down - making it tougher for you to feel like yourself. ⠀
⠀
You're normal⠀
And you'll be ok. ⠀
⠀
But diet can be a major source of feeling better. So today, I'm heading to the store to pick up some foods to help give my mind and body the nutrients it needs to fight off my sadness. ⠀
⠀
You can check out my stories and swipe to see some foods that can help bear off SAD. ⠀
⠀
But the ones I'm really excited to eat are:⠀
⠀
🐠 Salmon ⠀
🎃 Pumpkin seeds⠀
🍊 Oranges and other citrus fruits⠀
🥕Carrots and Spinach ⠀
⠀
I'm sure this will help me with my goals of eating healthier and weight loss as well.⠀
⠀
Do you know of any foods that are great for elevating your mood? Let me know please - I'd love your help. 💛⠀

Guess what?⠀
⠀
You can do whatever you like in this lifetime. ⠀
⠀
Seriously.⠀
⠀
Ok so I have a cousin, she's amazing. She's one of my favorite people on this planet. 💋⠀
⠀
When she was a senior in college - she called me to ask what I thought about her leaving college - to pursue her singing career. ⠀
⠀
She had asked around - and most people told her to stick with school and focus on a singing career later. They didn't really believe she could have success as a professional singer - and that was clear. ⠀
⠀
But she felt in her BONES - that she was meant to sing. ⠀
⠀
So we talked for a few hours - she shared WHY she felt called to do this and what she wanted to do. And after listening, I told her this.... ⠀
⠀
✨"If God gave you this desire - you're MEANT to live it out. I think you should go for it."✨⠀
⠀
I could HEAR her smile over the phone. ⠀
⠀
She knew that.⠀
⠀
She knew that it was her destiny, and she just needed SOMEONE to validate what she already knew to be true. ⠀
⠀
She's been singing and musically inclined since she was an infant. As a child, she would play on the piano, write songs, and sing more than she talked. ⠀
⠀
Music has always been her thing - so it only made sense to me that she would pursue that as her career. ⠀
⠀
She just needed someone to say, "you can". ⠀
⠀
The road for her has NOT been easy. It has come with losses, pains, and set backs. But it's also come with tours, guest spots, Spotify songs, and TV spots on national TV.📺⠀
⠀
If she didn't pursue her dream - her life would've been hard.⠀
⠀
If she did pursue her dream - her life would've been hard. ⠀
⠀
Life IS hard because the hard times are MEANT to help us GROW and become better people. ⠀
⠀
✨But you MUST choose your hard. ✨⠀
⠀
Our family is blessed - but we are not "privileged" per se. We just take what we have and we make the best of it. ⠀
⠀
There's no excuse for you. ⠀
⠀
If you want to do something - you CAN. ⠀
⠀
Don't blame it on lack of money or time. ⠀
⠀
✨Make a choice to prioritize what's important to you and then do it. Create time for it. Make it happen. ✨⠀
⠀
You got this chica!✨💛

✨Share Your Life with Others!✨⠀
⠀
Ok the internet is FILLED with strangers.⠀
⠀
Most of us don't know each other and may never physically meet.⠀
⠀
However, with the wave of online marketing - we are all connecting now more than ever and that's a good thing. ⠀
⠀
However, how do you ✨stand out✨ in the barrage of posts on peoples feeds? How do you grab people's attention? ⠀
⠀
Well - they have to feel like they KNOW you. ⠀
⠀
And how can you help them get to KNOW you?⠀
⠀
By sharing what makes you - YOU. ⠀
⠀
And even better - DO IT ON CAMERA 🎥 ⠀
⠀
When people watch you live your life ON CAMERA - they feel like they are living your life WITH you. They hear your voice, see your expressions, and get to know what you like. ⠀
⠀
So here are a few ways to share in a way that lets people get to KNOW you.⠀
⠀
✨Share your trips or hobbies. When I went to Disney World / I shared my day in my IG stories. It was a TON of fun and people now know that Cindy is my GIRL! #DisneyPrincess⠀
⠀
✨Share your daily routine. This is best done on your IG & FB stories. Take them through the moment you wake up till you go to sleep. It'll get people to see who you are on a daily basis⠀
⠀
✨Share photos of your friends, family, and pets. People want to know who's in your life. Show them who you hang with ⠀
⠀
✨Talk about the shows, books, & celebs you love! We can connect over things like that! So don't be ashamed to share your love of Jersey Shore or the Kardashians!⠀
⠀
People WANT to find connection with others - but they can't do it if you're not being YOURSELF online. Share what you like, what you do, and how you live - ESPECIALLY on camera - and your audience will engage and connect with you in no time! ⠀
⠀
You got this chica!✨

I love love LOVE Awards Season!

When I was a kid - I thought I was going to be an actress! I love the arts and I love escaping into a whole new world and personality. Acting is still one of my favorite things to experience in life and so you can often find me memorizing monologues and/or watching some of my favorite Indie movies.

Well last night, the SAG awards were on and this is one of my favorites. Because this particular show is all about the ACTORS actually choosing which movies they loved from the previous year. So it’s pretty awesome because it’s about the ACTOR and not an association choosing what was the best.

There were a few VERY amazing moments (ahem - Black Panther winning for Best Cast Ensemble)! But let’s talk about some of the most amazing LOOKS from last night’s show and how you can get them!

Lady Gaga

I’ve been on a sort of Lady Gagy kick lately. I wasn’t the hugest fan of hers over the last few years but I recently watched 5 foot 2 and I absolutely loved it. At the SAG awards - I loved this look! A cute sleek back look! To get the slick back look, I definitely recommend the Stylized System to achieve this look. After washing with the Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner, use the Taffy and Hairspray to slick the hair back and keep it in place.

Lupita N’yongo

Hands down, one of my favorite looks of the night! I love that she wore Box Braids to an Awards Gala! A bold move that I feel was awesome to make! To get the shine - I recommend Rejuvnique Oil because the only thing that would mess this up is a flaky scalp and dry braids. This will help to maintain moisture, shine, and a gorgeous finish!

Danai Gurira

Another favorite was Danai! The mini fro was so gorgeous and classy and I loved it! I felt like she really brought the heat with this feminine look. To achieve this look, I recommend the Hydration System - topped off with Rejuvenique for shine and moisture.

Margot Robbie

Margot KNOWS she was killing the red carpet and I’m here for it! Her dress and her hair was stunning. For this effortless look, I recommend our Effortless system for bouncy but light waves!

John Krasinski

A clear winner of the night - was John. Not only was his wonderful wife so grateful to him for how much she supports her (and she won an award for a role that he created for her) but also…he looks so handsome! I recommend our Black system to recreate this amazing look. (And our Beard Oil for added shine and hydration!)

What were YOUR favorite looks of the night? Let me know below! I’m super excited for the next award show - which will be the Grammy’s on Sunday February 10th. Check your local TV stations to know where it’ll be aired near you!
